Answer 2

Dawn raises $132 for her school.

Explanation:

Dawn rises money for her school in a jog-a-thon.

She will get $3 for each lap she completes.

It takes 4 laps to jog = 1 mile

For 11 miles it takes laps = 11 × 4 = 44 laps

∵ 3 Dollars for 1 lap

∴ for 44 laps = 44 × 3 = $132

Dawn raises $132 for her school.
